I'll be sure to link this to my site. It was a really good mathematician who figured this out when he was 6yrs old. pretty powerful stuff.

Saxon Math is not for everyone

(Updated in 2018) People sometimes ask me of my opinion or review of Saxon math. What I've written here applies in particular to Saxon Math's high school courses and middle grade levels. (The grades K-3 are by a different author and are quite different; more on that below.) Saxon Math uses an "incremental approach" where math concepts are studied in little pieces over several lessons, and those lessons are strawed over a long period of time, intermixed with lessons about other topics. In other words, if one lesson is on some particular topic (say, percentages or inequalities), it's almost guaranteed that the NEXT lesson is NOT on that topic . It jumps around from topic to topic constantly, and this is by design. Saxon's method also includes a feature where after a lesson is taught, there are very few practice problems about the topic of the lesson. Most of the problems are mixed review problems, and they practice concepts from earlier lessons, not th...

Nullity and dividing by zero by professor James Anderson

Recently this was highlighted at Slashdot and Digg.com both. A math professor James Anderson has made a new 'number' or entity that he calls NULLITY, in order to solve problems such as 0/0, which traditionally is left undefined. Basically he first defined 1/0 as infinity, -1/0 as negative infinity, and 0/0 as nullity, using Φ (Phi) as a symbol for it. He said this nullity lies outside our normal number line, not on it. I watched the video shown on BBC news , and there he went on to show what happens with the "age-old" problem of 0 0 , (zero to zeroth power) using just normal rules of arithmetic plus these definitions: 0 0 = 0 (1 − 1) = 0 1 × 0 -1 =(0/1) 1 × (0/1) -1 Now, for every number, the 1st power is the number itself, while the -1 power is its reciprocal: = (0/1) × (1/0) = (0 × 1) / (1 × 0 ) = 0/0 = Nullity. Anderson said in the comments following the main article on BBC that two other professors have helped him develop axioms for this...
